Galatians 4:13
_ _ how through infirmity — rather, as Greek, “Ye know that because of an infirmity of my flesh I preached,” etc. He implies that bodily sickness, having detained him among them, contrary to his original intentions, was the occasion of his preaching the Gospel to them.
_ _ at the first — literally, “at the former time”; implying that at the time of writing he had been twice in Galatia. See my Introduction; also see on Galatians 4:16, and see on Galatians 5:21. His sickness was probably the same as recurred more violently afterward, “the thorn in the flesh” (2 Corinthians 12:7), which also was overruled to good (2 Corinthians 12:9, 2 Corinthians 12:10), as the “infirmity of the flesh” here. |

Galatians 4:13
